Executive Summary and Multi-Faceted Recommendations

I. Methodology:

➢ This Perspective Report has been prepared by analysing 26 Major agriculture and

horticulture crops of Karnataka for estimated cost of cultivation, market arrivals,

market analysis and price forecasting. These 26 crops together account for almost

87 percent of the total cropped area in the state, and reflects upon the financial

security of a majority of farmers in the state.

➢ The data was collected at different stages of crop production (such as germination,

growth, ripening and harvesting) from about 2000 farmers spread across 24

districts and 90 taluks by “Survey Method” for the year 2017-18.

➢ The data collection and analysis were done online using a software

“Amayakrishi” and market analysis as well price forecasting were undertaken

through a newly developed dashboard “KRIPA” (Krishi Dharane Vishleshana

Palaka).

II. Decadal Change in Cropped Area:

➢ In the last one decade (2008-09 to 2017-18) area under cultivation of many

agricultural crops decreased considerably in the state except Bengal Gram and

Soya bean whose area has been increased by 74% and 106% respectively. Area

under Groundnut (-28%), Paddy & Chilli (-36%) and Sunflower (-81%) has

declined significantly. In total, nearly six lakh hectares of agricultural land is

found to be uncultivable during the last one decade in Karnataka.

➢ It is a matter of concern that area under major food grains, Paddy & Jowar has

declined considerably resulting in reduced production of Paddy by 18.34 Lakh

tons and Jowar by 2.88 Lakh tons which has adversely impacted food security

scenario in the state.

III. Economics of Crop Production:

❖ In line with the guidelines of CACP, three types of production costs are worked out

with suitable modifications. These cost types are: Cost A1+FL- that includes paid

out cost + family labour charge, Cost C2-Opportunity Cost, which is the total cost

including rental value of own land and Cost C3- Comprehensive cost including

managerial cost. The modifications are:

• 25% of the gross revenue is taken as Rental value of Land –

• 15% of the total cost is Managerial cost

• 1.5% to 5% of the sum insured under PMPBY is taken as the Risk Premium

• Amortized and Establishment Cost in case of perennials is considered as an

additional fixed cost

• 15% is considered as interest on Working Capital and Fixed Capital.

❖ It is pertinent to note that almost 31 percent of the total cost forms the expenditure

towards labour (human, bullock and machinery) indicating that our crop husbandry

is fast turning into a labour intensive enterprise.

❖ The KAPC also works out costs at different stages of cultivation, as per which

almost 54% of the expenditure is incurred in the germination stage and nearly 20%

expenditure is incurred during growth as well as harvesting stages.

❖ If we consider the paid out cost and family labour charge (Cost A1+FL) incurred per

quintal of produce, as against the market price received by the farmers of the state ,

it is seen that farmers have incurred 5% loss for all agricultural crops put together

during 2017-18. However, except in the case of potato, farmers have received an

average profitability of around 105% in case of horticulture crops.

❖ Against total cost C2, in case of agriculture crops farmers have incurred losses to the

tune of 30%.

IV. Inadequate MSP:

❖ The Average cost of production considered by the CACP while fixing the MSP is

much less at the national level than the cost incurred by farmers in Karnataka .

❖ If we consider the overall average of all crops, MSPs of last year (2018) resulted in a

deficit of 3% against Cost A1+FL. It means that farmers will incur losses even if

MSP is ensured.

❖ Further, against total cost C2 this deficiency is to the tune 27%. Hence both the

market and the Govt has failed to provide justice to the farmers.

V. Cost Reduction and Yield Enhancement:

❖ High level of variability because of unstable market is also a matter of concern. If

we compare Co-efficient of Variation (CV) with the relatively stable market prices

of Paddy, variability is very high in case of vegetables like Onion and Tomato.

❖ Hence, instead of looking into only profitability one should also consider stability of

prices and cost reduction technologies.

❖ KAPC has clearly established that through mechanization agriculture can become a

profitable enterprise. CACP highlighted this in its Kharif Policy Report 2016-17.

❖ KAPC has identified eight such machines for land preparation through which cost

can be reduced to the tune of 37%. Similarly there are about 26 machines which

could result in cost reduction to the tune of 49% in post harvest operations.

❖ It was estimated that under “Krishi bhagya” the yield level can be enhanced to

the tune of 77% through proper rain water harvest from farm ponds. Hence it is

equally important to concentrate on yield enhancement and cost reduction

technologies to make agriculture as a profitable enterprise even with existing price

situation.

VI. Transaction in APMCs:

❖ It is a matter of concern that most of the farmers produce is being transacted outside

the purview of APMCs and MSP is not being ensured for many of the commodities

even within APMCs. This is due to failure of our marketing system.

❖ If we analyze production statistics during 2017-18 and the APMC transactions, only

23% of the production was transacted in APMCs, out of which MSP was ensured for

only 41% of the commodities sold in APMCs

VII. Government Procurement:

❖ GOK to safeguard the interest of farmers is intervening in the market regularly.

Since last five years state has procured nearly 257 Lakh quintals of different farm

commodities amounting to Rs.7635 crores.

❖ During 2013-14 71 Lakh quintals of Maize and 23 Lakh quintals of Paddy, in 2015-

16 20 Lakh quintals of Ragi and in 2016-17 35 Lakh quintals of Tur were procured

by paying incentives in addition to declared MSPs of those years.

❖ Timely procurement is as important as quantity procured. During 2017-18 nearly

33% of the production of Green gram and Black gram were sold before

commencement of procurement; it was to the tune of 50% in case of Bengal gram.

VIII. Current year’s Production Scenario:

❖ As per the area sown data of the departments of agriculture and horticulture, area

sown declined by 2% when compared to last year. In case of Onion area sown was

nearly doubled when compared to last year which may result in glut in the markets

leading to price crash.

❖ If we observe the seasonality index, in most of the agriculture crops, Onion,

Arecanut and Coconut in general, arrival will be high during January to October. As

per the KAPC estimation prices of Paddy, Maize and Bajra are likely to fall

considerably below MSP from November 3rd week.

IX. KAPC Proposals before the Government:

❖ KAPC recently developed a web based Decision Support System (DSS) called

“KRIPA” which helps in keeping close watch on the market situation of agriculture

and horticulture crops for timely market intervention in case of crash in prices.

❖ KAPC has recommended the adoption of Price Deficiency Payment Scheme

(PDPS) for Tomato and Onion for which Hon’ble Chief Minister has positively

reacted. It is heartening to note that same is being implemented for Onion in this

year.

❖ As per the request from the Govt. to fix procurement prices for minor millets KAPC

has scientifically estimated the cost of production of six major minor millets,

Barnyard Millet, Brown top Millet, Kodo Millet, Little Millet, Fox Tail Millet and

Proso Millet.

❖ Impact of GST on agriculture related products was thoroughly analyzed and a

proposal was prepared to be submitted before the GST Council to reduce GST

burden on certain agriculture commodities.

Multi Faceted Recommendations

In a competitive market government intervention should play the role of

complementarily to ensure remunerative and predictable prices to farm commodities.

In addition enhancing farmers bargaining capacity through group approach,

production policy as per the requirement, suitable crop plan, accurate price

forecasting and supply projections are to be made as necessary conditions to ensure

remunerative prices and predictable returns to farmers. Many a times these

conditions may also fail due to role of unscrupulous middlemen and vested interests

which calls for a legal protection to agriculture prices.

KAPC to ensure remunerative prices and stable market to farmers is putting

forth following thirteen recommendations for government’s consideration:

1. Legal Status to Prices and Selling:

a. Bringing amendment to Karnataka Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation and

Development) act 1966 in line with the Maharashtra State to make MSP as Statutory

Minimum Price (SMP) in APMCs.

b. Essential Commodity Act 1995 has to be suitably amended to include penalty

clauses for not honouring the SMP.

2. Enhancing Productivity:

a. Need for strengthening the production of Rainfed Paddy, Ragi and Rabi Jowar so as

to increase the procurement of these cereals which could be distributed under “

ANNABHAGYA “.

b. Area under major oil seed crops like Sunflower and Groundnut are declining at a

faster rate since last one decade. Necessary steps should be taken to halt this

declining trend.

c. Govt. itself is a major consumer of various food articles under many welfare

schemes other than distribution under PDS. Govt. can procure its requirement at

MSP directly from the farmers instead of procuring from open market.

3. Extending Procurement:

a. Procurement can be further strengthened by effectively adopting recent GOI

initiative PM-AASHA.

b. GOI’s earlier proposed Market Assurance Scheme (MAS) can be another

programme for further strengthening procurement. There is a need to pressurize the

GOI to implement the scheme.

c. Decentralizing the procurement at PACS level so that procurement can be done at

farmers level itself.

d. Establishment of Pulses Federation.

e. Streamlining the payment system after procurement, payment should be done within

one month. In case of any delay farmers should be compensated by providing

interest for delayed period.

f. In order to have assured supply of quality seeds it is necessary to ensure purchase

price as per the Swaminathan committee recommendation, i.e. C2 + 50% at least for

seed farmers.

4. Statutory/Legal Status of Procurement Responsibility:

a. To protect food security of people and commitment under different welfare schemes

it may be necessary to bring “Karnataka Agriculture Produce Procurement

Responsibility Act” to make it mandatory for the government to procure certain

quantity of food grains at MSP.

b. To further augment the quantum of procurement provisions under The National

Food Security Act 2013 can be revoked in collaboration with State Food

Commission.

5. Implementation of Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS):

a. GOI has restricted this scheme to only oil seeds, however state has implemented

similar scheme for onion during this year.

b. This scheme is highly suitable for crops like Maize, Tur, Tomato and Onion, needs

to negotiate with the GOI to extend this to other crops.

6. Need for mobilizing sufficient Price Stabilization Fund:

State should create ever maintainable minimum price stabilization of Rs. 5000 crores

and government should create a separate Secretariat for its management.

7. Strengthening of Group Marketing:

a. Formulating a “Comprehensive Policy on Group Marketing of Agriculture &

Horticulture Produce” for the State.

b. Establishing a “Centre of Excellence for Group Marketing.”

c. Promoting collective agriculture on line with the “Keebut” in Israel after thorough

understanding of the method.

8. Promoting Cost Efficient/Reduction technologies:

a. Promoting online aggregation platform similar to that of “Ola/Uber” so that

machineries available with different farmers can be aggregated for timely

availability so that machineries which are already available can be put to optimum

use.

b. Establishing “Labour Bank” on line with the Kerala model.

c. To reduce the burden of ever increasing wage rates on cost of production by linking

MGNREGA to agriculture.

9. Productive use of Fallow Lands and Comprehensive Production and Crop

Planning:

a. Establishing a “Karnataka Agriculture Land Utilization Board” under

Chairmanship of Hon’ble Chief Minister.

b. Responsibility of land use planning and district level crop planning can be entrusted

to Planning Board.

10. Strengthening of Marketing Department:

a. To attract farmers to APMCs, markets should move towards farmers with farmer

friendly policies.

b. Need for popularizing pledge loan facility.

c. Further strengthening of Marketing Department and bringing it under Principle

Secretary of Agriculture.

11. Comprehensive Price Policy for Organic Crops/Millets:

Minor millets/Nutri-cereals can be procured at profitable support prices and

arrangements can be made to market them through HOPCOMS and similar

organizations.

12. Income Insurance to Farmers:

a. To mitigate income risk of the farming community, government should think of

introducing different innovative schemes like Group Crop Insurance and Individual

level Income Insurance.

b. Private insurance companies are to be encouraged to float such schemes with

incentives.

13. Proper Negotiations with Centre on certain Issues:

a. To consider Cost C2 as the basis for fixing MSP.

b. Legal status to MSP and transactions of farm produce.

c. Go before the GST council to reduce burden of GST on agriculture commodities.

d. Comprehensive National Policy on Pulses and Onion.

e. Establishment if Areca nut Board.

f. To enhance Minimum Import Prices of Pepper and Arecanut.
